One for the typonerds

documentary on the making of the 'Helvetica' Film on BBC1 @ 10.35 tonight

i'd rather slide down a razor blade using my balls as brakes.

don't let me stop you, slide away....

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

what a mess! Clean that up.

It's not the full length version they're showing though but will still be worth a view.

i just google searched what this is, and....are you fucking serious?! people are really going nuts over making fonts with subtle differences between each other?! i mean, i'm sure there's a group or niche for every little weird thing in society, but the thought of brooding over font types makes my skin crawl

groupo or miche

Think I'll check it out and see how far I get. I've heard the film's good.

typography is a masssssive subject

word to yo mumma!

It's all about the font!

31trum word to yo mumma!

Write on, brother.

SMEEAR typography is a masssssive subject

seriously? like, great debates over whether or not there's a little flair at the top of a lower case 'a' or the degree of the curves in an 's' ?

i'm both fascinated and disgusted.

like the same way people would be disgusted by people discussing frame geometry or what tyres to buy.......im sure your aware of a thing called graphic design...well then im sure your aware of the impact Helvetic had on this subject....believe it or not people are into things of this nature.

i would just like to say, thanks wayne for letting me know about the program

i enjoyed it, even if some others don't know the existence of typography

good wernt it.....all the famous faces and that:)

dang, missed it. but i'm going to see the whole thing anyway!

kilgore trout, thought i'd write a long post about how important typography is (almost like cells in your body, they're working hard to keeping you alive but you'll never really notice) but i thought i better not bore you with it and anyone else chipped in their thoughts here would know so i wont bother. alright, lets talk about bikes!

is anyone buying the dvd, has ordered it? slamm?
otherwise i might go for it
